DFRduino Pro Mini V1.3 - Arduino Pro Mini Compatible - 16M5V328

The 5V DFduino Pro Mini V1.3 is a powerful microcontroller board built around the ATmega328 chip. Operating at a swift 16MHz with a specifically designed bootloader, it is a noteworthy upgrade over the standard Arduino Pro Mini. Equipped with 8 analog inputs instead of the traditional 6, the DFduino Pro Mini is engineered for enhanced input monitoring and control.

This compact board boasts 14 digital input/output pins, with 6 configured for PWM outputs, enabling precise control of various electronic components. Whether you are driving motors or fading LEDs, this board is built to manage it all. The on-board resonator ensures timing stability, while the reset button allows for quick restarts during programming.

DFRduino Pro Mini is designed for semi-permanent installations such as interactive exhibits or embedded systems. Without pre-mounted headers, it provides flexibility in how connectors are added, whether through customized headers or direct wire soldering. This adaptability, along with the pin layout, maintains compatibility with the standard Arduino Mini, offering a seamless substitution for existing projects.

For programming convenience and power supply to your DFduino Pro Mini, consider using the FTDI Basic Breakout or the USB Serial Light Adapter. These compatible accessories ensure consistent performance and simplify the development process. The V1.3 update of this board includes an alteration to the programming interface, reversing the pin arrangement for improved functionality. This makes it not just an advanced controller but a practical choice for innovative technical projects.
